In 2019, they also released one of the year’s most important books: Refugee Tales III, a selection of short stories by refugees in the UK. In 2019, they have released several of these, with their Book of Tehran and Book of Cairobeing our favourites. Drawn & QuarterlyĬomma Press initially caught our eye through their ‘A City in Short Fiction’ series, in which a selection of short stories by local authors are picked and curated as a literary symbol of a city, summing up what one of Earth’s cities is in terms of art and literature. Red Circle Authors have already done so much with so little, and we’re eagerly anticipating so much more from them. Three tales by three authors.Įach of them is an infinitely memorable and poignant work of its time – truly contemporary, honest, and insightful. In 2019, Red Circle Authors published a small collection of three short story chapbooks: Red Circle Minis. With two directors and a handful of Japanese authors – Koji Chikatani, based in Tokyo, and Richard Nathan, based in London – Red Circle Authors are already carving out their niche in the world of indie publishing and what a different niche it is.
As they explained to The Japan Times, Red Circle Authors are less about being a part of the ocean of publishing companies and more about being a home to Japanese and Japan-based writers.Īnd that idea of a home, in true Japanese fashion, comes through in the quality of their authors’ writing, the translations, and even the aesthetics and feel of the books themselves.
